Yeah I agree. Roy's detractors will always say he never fought anyone, and will always have an excuse for the greats he did beat (Toney was weight drained, Hopkins wasn't in his prime yet, ect). People who say that are either biased against him or just don't know their history. Guys like Sugarboy Malinga, Tate, Sosa, Griffen, Virgil Hill, ect were solid fighters. Reggie Johnson was a fantastic fighter, very underrated, who gave a lot of guys a lot of problems and Roy dominated him.
If you look back at his career, you'll see a ton of guys who gave other greats a lot of problems, or perhaps beat other greats, who were murdered or embarrassed by Roy Jones. Once in a lifetime fighter.
